   Hey here's something about the Fediverse that some people don't take into account:

   I see on "hacker" "news" that there is currently discussion about Scuttlebutt and the very clever opinion is that oh no, distributed social is worse than FB/Twitter because nothing is stopping BigScaryCorp from scooping up all your public posts.

   Ignoring the fact that you can very easily have a locked account or even one that has public AND non-public posts... 1/

      The only thing stooping corps from sniffing PUBLIC posts is the license that the users add on them, I suggest a copyleft license like the CC-BY-SA if any company use it they have to Put the same license on their results and that breaks their economical model.

      Non public post are private, having that function on a Public network is not only giving a false sense of security but it is also not the function of a public micro blogging federation.
